This is a really beautiful mix of ambient jazz and techno with some experimental and leftfield sounds by Caro. Also this is the first time my music has been played on Noods Radio (Bristol, UK), so that’s exciting too! Caro played 'Lumina' and that's the first track on my latest album To the Nines.

Btw. , some people ask how long it takes to create one issue of my "Radio Irrtum!" show. All in all over 30 hours, maybe 40. For being one hour on air.
It takes:
- listening (intensely) to like 50 fresh releases (out of around 100 with my Bandcamp filters plus other sources) per month
- selecting about 20 tracks worthy for the show (with noting run time per track and style)
- see how they fit together, reduce again to around 12
- bringing those 12 tracks into the right order (first pop, then hip-hop/beats, then club/bass, then experimental, then punk/handmade, then something calm)
- see what I can buy, see what I can take from my streaming flat rate
- check what's not on Spotify (I use another service), check what's CC
- writing to the artists, trying to get extra Intel directly from them
- doing recherche about the other artists (most I do not know at all)
- writing the manuscript
- check out what I can play in the background
- record live
- trimming the live recording to exactly 57 min, doing crossfading where necessary, cutting bloopers . Audio Levels of the different music tracks are also a challenge. Doing all this while trying to be sensitive regarding the music I unfortunately have to cut because you know... 57 min
- playing out the master, making an EBU R 128 version for the station and an standard MP3 version for my web archive
- listening to this EBU R 128 final mix , sometimes I still find errors at this point, so back to the mixing desk again
- writing some short introduction text for the station and then: upload to the station.
All this using #Audacity (sample editing), #Ardour (mixing), Renoise (Live Jingles /Station IDs), and ffmpeg/lame for file format converting on Arch Linux, Libre Office for manuscript and spreadsheet (track timing/order planning).
That could be it. But then my station does literally nothing to promote my show, so now I go into like 4-6 hours extra time for promotion which is:
Wiring the multilingual teaser for the Fediverse which seriously takes time (what was the fedi handle of that artist again?).
And then creating the SN teaser video for Radio Irrtum! is taking usually like 2 hours of (phun!) work... for those 10s teaser videos :)
And then uploading the show to my archive web server, writing some stuff about it and checking, if the website still works afterwards ;)
Doing all that is work indeed, on top of my day to day job. But it's fun nevertheless! That is what keeps me going since years now... Plus I'm always happy for the positive response I often receive afterwards. Not that I really "need" it, but boy... it feels so nice. Thank you for that!!!
Money wise I do it for free btw, no income plus ;) , more like 20-40 Eur costs for buying music on Bandcamp per show (which is fine).

Cette semaine, on suit l'enfant Samuel qui grandit au temple (en cliquant sur ce lien !).
https://www.radioecclesia.com/static/upload/2025/10/20251024114742.mp3
L'enfant est apprécié par les nombreux pèlerins. Mais les fils de son maître font le mal et personne ne semble s'en apercevoir.
Alors c'est directement auprès de Dieu qu'il va chercher la sagesse dont il a besoin. Qu'en fera-t-il ?
Bonne écoute !

Aww, Radio and TV at this time of the year are full of Christmas contemplation – often paired with wonderful end of the year reviews... Don't you love it too?
NO?!
Then get ready for
RADIO IRRTUM!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Yes, the upcoming issue of #RadioIrrtum! will have NOTHING of this and be aired anyway this Saturday, 2024/12/21, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at
https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum all over the planet. Also it's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!
This time I make your Xmas presents basically wrap themselves in weird ways by just pushing out super evil sonic waves containing
- Hamburger Schule #PostPunk
- Polish #CasioPop
- #Acid
- #GrimeRap
- #DnB of various flavors
- #IDM
- #technicalDeathMetal
- the best #Berlin #Punk I've ever played (!)
- #tapeLoopRomance
Yeah, a bit of an electronic overweight with all the DnB and IDM stuff this time – sorry about that… but this basically is what came across my "desk" this month.
At least there is #CreativeCommons included – coming right of the #acidDecember24 happening pulled of by the mighty #Basspistol crew (still running, you may still submit your selfmade tracks - I know, I will) and there is, lemme repeat that, really really well done Berlin punk in here.
If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

- Hamburger Schule Postpunk
- polnischem Casio Pop
- Acid
- Grime
- DnB verschiedener Ausrichtungen
- IDM
- technical DeathMetal
- super gutem Berlin Punk
- Tapeloop Romantik
Bisschen Überhang gibz in Sachen elektronisches Zeugs – hat sich diesmal so ergeben. Dafür auch wieder Creative Commons – und zwar vom Acid December Happening des Basspistol Kollektives. Und, ich sags nochmal: Großartiger Punk aus Berlin ist auch dabei!
Playlist + Manuskript nach der Show (spätestens Sonntag) hier drunter. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte (spätestens Sonntag)!
